That sounds berkeleying boring.......

Then again, I actually like severe weather(exception to hail, it kills crops)

Just taking advantage of the opportunities

And yet nobody sees the rally car in the upper left part of the picture? Uuber prepared!

So true. I tied to go on a hike with the wife once. The park had a sign that said "warning alligators and poisonous snakes". Wife wouldn't get out of the truck and we never went hiking.

Yankee Bear will smash your gas grill and tear your shed down for your insolence!

Fuel on the manifold will do that. So will a cigarette on the passenger seat. I think the white car in flames and the black car slightly below it were involved in a head on-collision.

Hail on a motorcycle is killer too. Damn that E36 M3 hurts.

we have them here also …

here after I cleared half the driveway this morning … finished it just now

and yes I realize that isn't "cleared" … but it's enough for my truck … and will aid solar clearing later this week

Our boss at work just told us that it's "Snaining" out.

woot! afternoon classes cancelled! Too bad I still probably have to email the paper in...

Looks like I can spend my afternoon in leisure! And by that I mean shoveling and preparing for tomorrow's class...

In reply to y'all southerners: I'm about ready to take on as many gators and snakes as required to stop my van from rusting... Driving in the snow is buckets of fun, but pieces falling off of cars almost doesn't seem worth it anymore. I think I could deal with a gator once in a while in exchange for driving a rust free classic car year round. I'll just use my technique for dealing with bears/wolves. Don't get too close and don't piss them off.

Fyi. A 1st gen 4wd mazda mpv can handle a foot of snow like its nothing.

I was kind of impressed. Once I figured that out Instead of shoveling the heavy packed snow at the end of the driveway I just drive back and forth over it a few times to pack it down.

Boredom . . .
